Paph Magic Lantern
I got the Paph in a trade about 2 years ago. At the time of the trade, the
Paph had 3 growths and the leaves were leathery, thick and a very dark (almost blue) green color. One growth just finished a bloom and two young growths one slightly bigger than the other at the time of the trade. Fast forward two years, the original growth that was done blooming when I picked it up is yellowing, the leaves are drying out. One of the younger growths is almost mature with 6 leaves on it (3 on each side) and the second growth is maybe 1/2" larger than when I originally observed it. No signs of flowering. The roots are nice and thick, beige and kind of hairy :). It lives with other mottled leaf Paphs under shadey conditions (no direct light at all, about 5 feet from western exposure). In the summers I water more often, I feed at a 1/2 of the recommended rate, the temps are around 72-74F during the day and about 68F at night, but no flowers, and if it grows any slower, I will have great grandchildren before it blooms! Other mottled leaved Paphs, are flowering, yet this one is pouting. Tell me what I'm doing wrong, does it need lower temperature at night? Mariana |
